Standing

6 labels, too few to rank

Movement

This is the first edition on this tier, so no move can be computed for Bryq yet. From the next edition this section shows, per buyer segment, whether its share moved by more than the measured noise floor.

By framing

Which of the six questions produced the naming. By model says how often; this says asked what. The first-choice count on the right carries the marks of the models that produced it.

What the models said for it

Verbatim evidence the judge attached to positive labels.

“Bryq is the strongest pick for mid-market skills-based hiring, quality of hire, and internal mobility.” Claude Haiku 4.5 · Talent intelligence · direct prompt · first choice

“Choose Bryq/Criteria if: You are focused on scientific hiring, culture fit, and predicting future performance” Qwen 3.7 Flash · Candidate assessment · comparative prompt · alternative

“If your focus is on hiring and internal mobility, Bryq is also highly recommended.” Mistral Small · Skills intelligence · direct prompt · alternative

And against it

Verbatim evidence attached to negative labels. A warning on a product with few labels is a warning; on a product with many, it is one voice among them.

No model argued against it.

What carried it into the answer

The sites and pages cited by the answers that named Bryq. A fact about retrieval, not a lever on the model.

Citations exist only for the models that return a source list, four of the twelve in this edition, so these counts come from 22 of the 24 answers that named Bryq and are not a share of its labels.

Claim this page

Claiming is free and changes nothing in the data. A claimed page shows a verified contact who is told when each edition publishes and when Bryq's standing changes by more than the noise floor; the right to propose corrections to the vendor table, meaning names the judge wrote that should or should not read as Bryq, applied by version and listed in the change log; and a one-line description supplied by the vendor and marked as such.

It does not get any change to labels, shares or verdicts, any preview, or any say over which quotes appear. A verification link goes to your work email; an address at bryq.com is approved on the spot, any other address is reviewed by hand.

Your name and company appear on the claimed page, or the company alone if you ask below. A title and a LinkedIn address appear there too if you give them, and are left off if you do not. Your email address is never published.
